Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, Nikhil Bahadur of Blue Nectar Tequila offers this recipe for a one-of-a-kind margarita flavored with blood orange and habanero sauce. The WeWork FiDi member offers four different types of tequilas, but for this, he recommends the triple-distilled Blue Nectar Silver.
The recipe was created by Natalie Migliarini of Beautiful Booze, who says that the two unusual flavors balance each other out “because the blood orange is sweet and the habanero hot sauce adds a slight spice.”
